50 Best Sandwich Shops in San Diego

“Wow, such great food and awesome service! Had the lobster roll and it was quality lobster and overflowing with actual meat. Everything was delicious.“

“Best sandwich shop hands down. Anytime I'm near this place I go. The best pastrami sandwich in the world. All the employees treat you great. Super nice people. The owner's work there and are really helpful. It's a must if you're going to Balboa Park.“

“One of the best sandwiches I've ever had in my life. This place knows exactly what a sandwich is supposed to be. It's filled with all the veggies you expect and you pick the protein you desire. I'll tell you this much... anything you order is going to taste good. We had thai tea and mango drink as well as egg roll and sesame balls with bean curd. So good!!! It was so good i couldnt finish it... but i ate the rest later in the day.. JUST AS GOOD..“

“The food was exceptionally good. I would eat the French toast weekly if I lived near by. The coffee cake was also exceptional. Ever member of my party enjoyed everything. The ambiance is fun. The impromptu snow storm gave us a smile, even if our table didn't get umbrellas. I will say, the bathroom experience is... Interesting and not for the modest (windows looking out to the farmers market). Also make sure to ask to be in the atrium or you miss a good part of the experience.“

“The place is one of the best deli’s in San Diego and the sandwiches are huge! They are also friendly and have a clean store. Love San Carlos. But they are under new management and they have downsized their sandwiches and upped their prices so much that it is ridiculous. Not my favorite anymore.😩“

“We tried the Fruit Sando! It was very good- and very generous on the cream. Fruit tasted fresh and bread was okay. Display was nice as well. Next time I’ll have to try some of their savory options but all and all a very easy and pleasing experience. $11 was a little steep and maybe around $8 i’d come more often and they could consider catering at that price. But still good stuff! Thank you“

“Loved their sandwiches. service and the cookies are to die for!!!“

“Little nap cafe Toasted marshmallow soft serve. Had their chocotherapy ice cream with toasted marshmallows and chocolate straws all on sweet cream. Have to say some times less is more. The ice cream and sweet cream were awesome but everything else was just talking away from them.“

“this place was so good 😊 I did a review of it on my channel mike420kungfu other day 🐉“

“We met Jim on the day we found out about him generously donating the proceeds of a fundraiser for Brandon, the late owner of “The Friendly”. They had run out of the “fundraiser special” so I tried the Super Beef. Piled high with rare, tender roast beef on a toasted Sweet Onion bun, I was blown away. It’s so huge that I really should have only eaten half but I couldn’t - stop - eating! The taste of this delicious sandwich, along with the friendly demeanor of Jim and his assistant Asher, will have us coming back over and over!“

“Purchased a variety of snacks drinks and hot beverages here every day over a week. Always the same consistent welcome and reasonable priced with a side of friendly service. I would recommend stopping by for coffee or a bite en route or if staying at the T&C resort behind (which has a stupidly overpriced shop)“

“Great food but terrible location in the middle of an industrial park. They need to move to a strip mall on a busy street to get more business“

“Amazingly friendly staff. When you walk in, you immediately feel like family. There is so much variety. The #25 is amazing with it's fresh sliced avocado. The #45 is easily my favorite hot sandwich. There is always 2 new soups daily and all of them are absolutely delicious. Everything is fresh and fully customizable. The prices are easily justified when you consider just how big the portions are. The staff in general will always make you feel welcome. They are attentive to their customers and have a unique way of making a bad day a lot better. Highly recommend just for the atmosphere here.“

“Best BLT on Soda Bread yummy and fresh vegetables.“

“Garden Grill House is a hidden gem in San Diego! They serve an amazing variety of sandwiches along with flavorful Mediterranean and Persian dishes that always hit the spot. There’s plenty of parking, which makes visiting super easy.

The outdoor patio is a great place to relax and enjoy a meal, and they also offer many types of hookahs, adding to the fun and laid-back vibe. On top of that, they host parties and birthdays, and their catering service is perfect if you want to share their delicious food at your own event.

Whether you’re stopping by for a casual hangout or planning something special, Garden Grill House is definitely worth checking out!“

I highly recommend!!“

The bread is toasted fresh on the spot, filling the air with a wonderful aroma. The roast pork is crispy and flavorful — truly a must-try for anyone who loves genuine Vietnamese bánh mì!“

Its quality pastrami and the bread is delicious. First time here but I'll definitely be back to try other sandwiches. Got my eye on the roast beef to order next.“
